Fabreeka-PTFE bearing pad

Fabreeka-PTFE bearing pads are comprised of the original fabric reinforced, elastomeric pad developed in 1936. Fabreeka-PTFE pad is used to accommodate construction irregularities such as rotation and non-parallel load bearing surfaces, while also providing a sliding surface to accommodate expansion. The Fabreeka-PTFE bearing pads are manufactured with a Teflon® surface for use in expansion bearings and pipe slides. Fabreeka pad is scientifically constructed to give years of service under the most severe operating conditions.

Fabreeka-PTFE pad can be used in structural expansion bearings, slide bearings, pipe clamps and as pipe support pads.

Key Features/Benefits

Pads can withstand compressive loads perpendicular to the plane of laminations of not less than 12,000 psi before breakdown.

The Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) self-lubricating surface is a 100 percent virgin (unfilled) polymer bonded to a rigid confining substrate. The substrate limits the flow (elongation) of the confined PTFE to not more than 0.009″ under a load of 2,000 psi. A range of PTFE thicknesses can be supplied.

Fabreeka-PTFE pad is impervious to most oils and is resistant to the effects of steam, water, mildew and brine. The effective temperature range is -65 ° F to 200 ° F.

The durometer of the Fabreeka pad is 90±5 (Shore A).
